All I can recommend in thsi Apple forum is to Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

i am using iphone 4Hi soulhaib elroumi,
If you haven't already done so, does restarting or resetting the iPhone help the issue?

If not, you may want to restore your iPhone in recovery mode using a computer with iTunes.

What happens if i erase all content and settings?
I want to restore my iphone again on itunes, what happens of i erase all content and settings?
Erasing all content and settings will set your iPhone up just as if you took it out of the box software-wise. It will go into setup mode - ask you for a WiFi network to join, ask for your Apple ID, set up the telephone, and then ask if you would like to set up as new or restore from a backup.

I have an iPhone 4s, but wifi the option is greyed out. The wifi stopped working on it months ago. Now I wanted to erase all content and setting from my old 4s and it will not connect to the internet, because the cellular data is no longer connected, since I bought a new iPhone 5c. I can't erase my phone by pluggin it into my Macbook Pro, since I can't disable the "Find my iPhone" App without internet. How do I erase all the data and setting on my 4s without connecting to the internet? It is running ios 7

I just did it. To enter DFU mode, I had to use "method 3" on this post
http://thebigboss.org/guides-iphone-ipod-ipad/dfu-mode
Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone. -
hi, I was about to reset my iphone3g when I accidentally selected erase all contents and setting. It was stucked with the iphone logo, so i tried to fix it by restoring all my datas in iTunes. I was able to successfully fix it but when I inserted my sim card it says that simcard not recognized. I tried all the solutions in the net but nothing seemed to work. What should I do? I'm located here in the Philippines. I hope you could help. Thanks!
I know. I was with my brother when we did this. He didnt clearly understood the question that poped-up. Regarding the simcard, after successfully restoring it on itunes my simcard won't work. I'm not able to send and receive calls and messages.

How long does erase all content and setting take
Hello,
Hi, i want to ask about "erase all content and setting", i have this ipad mini, and its already about an hour from the first time i choose that option, and till now there's nothing happened except this loading screen. Is it normal? Or do I have to connect it to my computer?
Thank you.Ohh, okay then, but the progress bar on my ipad hasn't appear yet, just that circle thingy going round and round again.
Do i have to let it be or there's something i could do about it?
thank you. -
I clicked on erase all content and setting.how do i get my phone working again
i clicked on erase all contents and setting, hoping it will just remove contacts and personal info since i was giving away the phone. now i just have an apple logo on a lit background. how do i get the phone working again.?
You were hoping to give the iPhone away right, which means you aren't worried about preserving data?
If that is the case, plug the iPhone into a computer with iTunes, if doesn't automatically ask if you want to restore the iPhone then we need to put the iPhone into forced recovery mode.
You can do that by keeping the iPhone plugged in and pressing and holding the sleep/wake button (the top button) and the home button (round one with the square in it) together until you see an apple logo. Once you see the apple logo let go off the sleep/wake button but keep holding the home button.
Once iTunes says it's detected an iPhone in recovery mode you can let go off the home button and then just restore the iPhone as new.
The added bonus of restoring the iPhone as new means you get rid of any software faults the iPhone may have. -
I am using apple configerator. I am unable to prepare or supervise 1 ipad. After preparing, I get an error that says "refresh completed but with an error, unable to verify supervision state" . I have erased all content and set up as a new ipad and tried again with no success. Any help would be appreciated
Hello jaybearden,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

using apple iphone 5, i observe today that display shows yellow border when i choose option in setting as erase all content and setting, iphone goes in to starting mode, i want to know is there any problem to display, plz give me feed back urgently
I had this same thing happen to me. I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen.

when i clicked on erase all content and setting in my iphone3, it first shut down and next the apple logo appears and then nothing happens, its been 12hrs since like that. i tried force restart by clicking the home and sleep/wake button, and still same issue.
I believe with the 3G and the older iOS, erase all content and settings acts differently than the newer iOS. You can use this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to place the phone in recovery mode and restore it.

What happens when I erase all content and settings?
I gave my son my iPhone 4. We just put his sim card in and it started working and I told him to change the apple id to his. However, this morning, he said that he still gets my iMessages. So we did an erase all content and settings. Now the phone doesn't work. What do we do?
When you erase all contents and settings - it wipes the phone clean.
If your son gets your imessage, on his phone go to settings - message - send&receive - uncheck or remove your apple id. -
I have an app, no longer in the app store, that i want to keep an iphone i'm getting rid of. I backed up the iphone on itunes and deleted all data, but the app, manually. I want to erase all data, and then put the app back on the phone. Please advise. Thanks
Then as I said you can do an Erase All Content and Settings which will wipe the phone. Completely. In order to add a game from your iTunes you will have to activate the iPhone with your Apple ID and then sync the game. You don't have to sync anything else. But you will need to sell the phone with your Apple ID on it.
